Christian School Hit With SWAT-Style Raid

A Christian school in California is facing a huge battle with the state.
Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) is representing River View Christian
Academy in northern California. The school was raided earlier in the
year, SWAT style, by the state.
According to PJI,
the raid was carried out by 16 armed law enforcement from California
Highway Patrol, two canine units and 17 social workers. Students and
staff were horrified by the sudden and unexpected attack.
The state was misled into thinking that the school was harboring illegal drugs, amassing ammunition, and preparing for doomsday.
RVCA works under the ministry Teen Rescue,
which has offered programs for struggling teenagers in need of
full-time supervision and redirection since 1989. Students are taught to
focus on their education, change destructive behavior and strive for
success.

Even though results from the raid did not uncover any apocalyptic,
end-times type of scenario, the state has not stopped and is fining the
school daily with claims of improper licensing.
The state is now saying that, due to recent legislation, it is no longer
possible for a private boarding school to operate without a
considerable amount of licensing and oversight by the Department of
Social Services.
With the increase in licensing, the Christian school would have to
abandon their biblical values. The state requires that licensed
facilities allow students to have the right to engage in spiritual and
sexual exploration, which contradicts the standards set by RVCA and the
morals of many parents, the Pacific Justice Institute said.
PJI attorney Kevin Snider says the school is being targeted because it’s part of a ministry for at-risk youth.
He wrote, “In 25 years of practice, I have never seen this level of
aggressive, militant, and ideologically-driven conduct by a state agency
against a religious institution.”
In April, a federal judge dismissed part of the case saying that it must
go through the state’s administrative process. Fines continue to
collect for RVCA and PJI has begun pursuing an administrative appeal.
